no personal knowledge but my cameras agree. Just got to the H.S. Dance and your friend is competition, but still you’re friend for now....we’ll fight later.:emoji_dizzy_face:

First sit of the year. Big temp drop from yesterday. One doe so far. She stayed just out of range.
 
Same bueller, but 2 sit on farm, only I fear the rolling combines could have it in for me tonight. Show up to find they got out 160A directly to the north of me in half a day and now are moving to the next field across the road. Definitely throwing a wrench into my access plans this year.
 
Sat tonight for 1st time this year. had 10 does, and 2 bucks come into the food area. Does came in around 4 and bucks at 5 pm. Was surprised given wind was 16 mph with gust over 25 mph. Wind was WNW up to 6 pm and then shifted to WSW and dropped to 6-7 mph. had one adult doe the whole afternoon who was always on alert. When I tried to leave and started doing a snort wheze, that was the time she would no leave ... LOL!

Scored on the IL youth season. He let the does walk until the last evening with the warm weather last weekend we couldn’t get any to cooperate.

2 for 2 isn’t a sneezing thing. When my son was young 1 for 1 would have been great.
Congratulations on a great season so early!

Looks like a booner to me
 
Deer were up and active by 3:45 yesterday. Saw 10 does with 2 bucks chasing does. High winds at 20 mph blew in, temps dropped from 50 F to 38 F with heavy rain and sleet around 5 pm and shut everything down.

Was out in a ground blind I had put up that morning and several does were pretty spooked by something new in their area.
 
It’s a little early for any kind of rut in my area, but I heard a buck grunt twice and they weren’t short.. nor quiet. I only saw bits and pieces of him and the doe (not in the picture) but I saw enough to tell there wasn’t much bone up top. Got my heart thumping real good
27° this morning on the walk in!

Thanks, he is a much better shot than I was at his age. He did get the shakes after he shot but he was cool as ice while pulling the trigger.

Corn field across the road was completely in flames when we got here. Fire trucks, and they had tractors plowing everything under. Windy as can be 30 mph with 50 gusts. But can't kill them on the couch

Yikes. Lotta fires this week. Took 15 departments to put this one out. Thankfully they got it done 1/8 mile before getting to a 125 ac cornfield of ours, the corn seen in the pic. We started harvesting it a few hours later. Most loads came out at 14.5-15.5% and I've never seen corn dry as fast as it has the past 2 weeks. Hoping to be live in the stand by early Nov! Nice pics guys.

Not "live", delayed from Thursday evening. Saw 7 antlerless, no bucks. Had a doe with her two fawns feeding on the rye out in front of me when a different doe with her two fawns entered the plot on the opposite end. The doe did not like each other and after a short stare down across the plot the first doe retreated into the woods leaving her fawns behind. Another minute or two goes by and the two fawns on the far end stop feeding and charge at the other fawns running them off the plot. I guess momma is raising a couple wild ones.
 
Is fires in crop fields common? I've never heard of it around these parts. Started by harvesting equipment?
